Dad says Colts' Manning should be ready for season

Former NFL quarterback Archie Manning says his son, Peyton, should recover from neck surgery by the start of the NFL season.

Speaking at Jim Kelly's charity golf event in Batavia, N.Y., about 40 miles east of Buffalo, Manning told reporters the Colts quarterback is "not where he wants to be" 10 days after surgery and that "hopefully" it will work out.

Colts owner Jim Irsay says he expects Manning to be ready for the start of training camp -- whenever that is.

Also playing in the golf tournament is Colts vice chairman Bill Polian, who says he has been getting updates about the NFL's four-time MVP from Archie Manning.

The golf tourney is expected to raise more than $400,000, with the money going to the Kelly For Kids Foundation.
